RESTAURANT, BRASSERIE OR BISTRO?

French cuisine sounds fancy but in the end, it’s all about quality – fresh products and creating a harmonious dish that elevates the quality of the main ingredient. The City of Lights boasts over 70 Michelin starred restaurants, but people with lower budgets can also have an amazing meal in a traditional brasserie or bistro.

What to choose, a Brasserie or a Bistro? Both places serve typical French cuisine. A Paris bistro is usually a pretty casual neighborhood restaurant, with a limited offer and specific opening hours for lunch and dinner while a brasserie serves throughout the day until late at night, and have a larger menu.

Where to eat in Paris Like the Locals?

In Paris, there are a few things more local than a typical Paris Bistro. Parisian Bistros are more than a place where people can eat or drink, they are an “art de vivre”, a way of life and a place to exchange and socialize while enjoying the traditional food in Paris.

Traditionally a Parisian bistro was a low key place to eat but nowadays you can find also trendy or upscale Paris bistros based on the concept of bistronomie. A contraction of “Bistro” and “Gastronomy”, the term bistronomie combines the cuisine worthy of great chefs with the affordable prices of a bistro.

If you are looking for traditional food to eat in Paris in a local atmosphere, include a local bistro in your Paris itinerary. Parisian bistros are the place to go and are a great addition to your Paris bucket list.

Go to lunch or dinner not in search of gastronomic revelation, but rather in the hope of being well-fed in the best French traditions of culinary simplicity by people who honestly love their job.
